This page will be updated as more information is made available.

Step 1

Pay a $300.00 non-refundable housing application fee. Payment of this fee serves to indicate your interest in residing in campus housing once again. Checks should be made out to "Montclair State University" (please write "Fall 2015 Housing Application Fee" in the memo portion of check) and submit to:

Read the Residence License and Dining Agreement . When notified via email log in to the RMS system and electronically sign the Residence License and Dining Services Agreement. (You will not be able to select a bed or be pulled in if you do not complete this prior to the start of the process.)

Step 4

Make sure that there are no holds/obligations existing on your student account by reviewing the holds page of your WESS account. If there are any holds on your account (financial, registration, parking, immunization, library fines, etc), you must clear them with the respective departments before your scheduled room selection eligibility date. Please note academic probation holds will not affect your ability to select an assignment for next year.

The Residential Management System will not allow you to participate in the room selection process if you have any outstanding holds/obligations on your account.

Check your MSU Email account for an email during the week of March 16, 2015. This will give you the date and time you can sign into the system. If you are retaining your room in Hawk Crossings or The Village at Little Fall your date will be March 24, 2015. Please review the Room Selection Process booklet for more detailed information on this.

Step 8

When available, login to Residential Management System (RMS) to conduct the Room Selection Process, following the outlined instructions.

A wait list process will be established after room selection has concluded. There is no guaranteed housing assignment for students on the wait list. Offers of assignments will be made throughout the summer and academic year at the discretion of the Office of Residence Life as vacancies occur.

Should you have any questions about the room selection process, or if you have difficulty logging-in to the Residential Management System to select your room, please do not hesitate to contact our office during business hours (8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday).
